More Universal *Knight* Armor transmogs

First before I begin, I want to say I love Final Fantasy as a whole (as well as FFXIV) and I love you guys Square Enix. You guys always put so much effort into trying to give us awesome games and all us fans deeply appreciate it!

Now, I would like to request and petition for more universal real KNIGHT armor sets. My personal character, Sir Jeddax, is a character that I based to be a knight in every game I play, especially Final Fantasy 14. I’ve mained the classes Paladin, and Dark Knight for a long time and tried the new class Viper, to which I love very much deeply. However, the one real problem I’m having with it is the sense of transmog aesthetic. There is the Ward’s Knight armor set, which is alright, but the problem is that it doesn’t have a helmet in the set. And the kicker is that there really aren’t many helmets, that are knightly, that work with Viper.

So essentially Square Enix, I am humbly asking that, when you’d have the time, if you could make some more universal knight armor sets or transmogs. It’d definitely be cool to maybe see some Dark Souls themed knight sets too maybe. But anyway, thank you for your time and consideration, and even more, thank you for making an awesome game for us fans!

Speaking as a fellow knight roleplayer, I can definetely appreciate the sentiment! For the longest time I used the Adamantite Helm of Fending for my PLD, which I think your'e already using too, so again your have good taste! There are a couple of possiblities that sort of match what you're looking for for a more knightly look for VPR in the helm department though in the game:

Firstly, there's the Onion Helms (the Onion Helm, Red Onion Helm and Peregrine Helm) from 1.0 which as the name suggests are based on the design of the Onion Knight Job from FFIII. The Red Onion Helm alas is tank specific equipment and is level 50 equippable, but the other two are level 1 and 30 respectively and all classes can equip them. Unfortunately, the original Onion Helm is only attainable by tracking down an unused item code voucher for it (it was included as a bonus with the Collector's Edition of version 1.0, which is now hard to find and retails for ridiculous amounts on sites like eBay for this reason and probably do not work anyway due to already having been redeemed). If you can find a working code though, then the code is redeemable still on the Mogstation (I have this helm myself due to being a 1.0/Legacy player).

The Red Onion Helm and the Peregrine Helm have a very low chance of being gained through retainer Quick Ventures (I've had a few Red Onion Helms brought back by retainers over the years myself, but never seen the Peregrine Helm unfortunately). But if you're lucky enough to get one then the Peregrine Helm would probably be the best choice of this three for your VPR.

Another alternative is the Helm of Light, which is also level 1 and all classes can equip, and is based on Yoshitaka Amano's artwork of the Warrior of Light from the original FF (this helm design wise goes with the Labyrinth of the Ancients tank gear, and is identical to the gear Elidibus wears as his cosplay costume during his battle in the Seat of Sacrifice trial). If you can look past the garish colours and the horns that stick out, this does sort of look knightly in a fantasy sort of way. It's gained through a code that came with the Collector's Edition of ARR, but can also be attained still through purchasing a 'Deluxe Digital Upgrade' for your account for ARR on the Mogstation, which will grant you the helm.

A third possiblity (and in keeping with gear designs from past FF games), is the Baron Helm, which is based on Yoshitaka Amano's design of Cecil's DRK helmet appearence in FFIV. Again this is level 1 equippable by all classes. Like the Helm of Light, this came originally with the Collector's Edition of HW, but can be still attained through purchasing a 'Deluxe Digital Upgrade' for HW to your account on the Mogstation. This piece really does go well with DRK naturally, but could definetely be a fit for VPR too.

I think there are some other helms equippable by all classes but I can't remember them at this time, but if I do find something I'll let you know!

It would defenitly be nice.

While I probably won't use them much myself, heard from a lot of people playing casters and healers they would like access to some more armored and 'actually fitting for Frontline combat' (their words, Paraphrased) gear for their characters.

Getting more all classes plate armor sets would allow them that. And Potentially let us have some fun memes and jokes when the Tank loads in in their beach Outfit glam while the Caster looks like they Just stepped out of Trial by combat in ishgard.

There are a number of solid sets in the game, but unfortunately they've not been given their graphical update yet. Once they do, there's a whole swathe of things especially from the Heavensward era that may finally look good.

Have you bought the old PvP sets? Some of them are full plate armor from the PvP crystal shops and are just for glams.

Why bother when 99% of the playerbase, which is Xaela and Catgirls who ERP will only wear tank tops and 2b's underwear?

Agreed and upvote.

Y'all know I've been in threads talking about my love for the modern / tech wear glams and whatnot. But I also want this guy to get what he wants too.

At the end of the day, I want all my WoL / WoD friends to be able to express themselves as they like with various glams. That expression is part of what makes the game more fun and more enjoyable for all of us. :)

I'm with the OP. Having more knight-like sets that could be worn on any job would be a nice bonus. I'm thankful for the few PVP armor sets we have been given that can be worn by all jobs.

The PvP armor sets from past series are quite nice. I really dig the Fierce Tyrant's set, especially with how well it dyes. It's too bad that a couple of them are unavailable at the moment for those that missed their chance to get them, but they will eventually be added to the trophy shop.

I really want a middle level armor for Red Mage, half plate or less than that rather than the full plate PvP gear or generic caster soft flimsy clothing. Swordsman + caster has been a combo for a lot of knight captains in quite a few different IPs... it pains me having Red Mage locked to caster gear >.>

ditch ps4 and gives us glowy armor Square

Your comment was not needed.

I think the game actually has quite a few knight themed sets already. Granted I have the benefit of playing tank, which gets the most heavily armored outfits.

The biggest issue I have is that those all come with capes, I honestly can't remember the last time they released plate armor without a cape stuck to it.
And I've been saying it since probably early Endwalker but the capes in XIV are just not good.

They don't look good, move awkwardly (because there aren't actually any cloth physics on the cape and it's just rigged to your spine) and they clip horribly with any race that has a tail.

This makes most of the knight chestpieces completely useless to me, even if the armor itself looks decent.
Stop it with the capes.

Well tbh and fair, a lot of knights had capes. Especially heroic knights. Knights with capes often gave off a sense of hope and heroism to a degree. It’s why a lot of games that have knights also have capes on the armor. Having the cape actually stood for something and not just a look.

I know that they were a thing, but usually they were used for bad weather protection or ceremonial purposes. You wouldn't want a giant piece of cloth flapping around in actual combat, it can get in the way or even provide potential leverage to your opponent.

My issue is also more with capes specifically in XIV because they just aren't good and because they are attached to the chestpiece you do not even have the option to get rid of them. On top of that they are on almost every single piece of fending armor since late Shadowbringers.
I'd take a surcoat over a cape any day.

I mean yeah that’s definitely true

Day: 6 of petitioning for more Universal Knight armor sets for all classes. Definitely wanting more armor, especially if Dark Souls themed.

SE: What? Even more streetwear glam you say?
Say no more!

SE wants you to please look forward to more hoodies, beanies, and FUBU stuff.

Upvote!
I've always loved knights stories and aesthetics since I was a child!
Though I've basically given up on a good looking knightly glamour and have accepted arcanaut and cryptlurker for a Victorian style.

Therefore, all my support for this cause!

Just watch them add some knight themed hoodie next.

Zero metal, only cotton.

At least if it were cotton yoshiP would have no argument about not allowing BLMs(and casters in general) to wear them.
Anyway, more universal plate gear would be nice.

I agree with this post, and I would also like to add to it on the other side of the spectrum. I main Reaper, and as a maiming class a lot of the sets are armour/plate/scale. It just doesn't really fit the Reaper aesthetic imo. Not for what I'm going for anyway. More leather/light armour aesthetic for the maiming sets would be really nice to see.

Honestly they should just open up glamour completely and stop restricting by job. There are so many universal sets in the game already that do not fit the "style" of certain jobs that are allowed to wear them. A White Mage can wear the Archfiend set and it's totally fine. Just let us glamour whatever we want. The barrier has already been broken.

You have no idea how much I want that too! Lol
I need fancy hats for my VPR glams! And for my tank glams too!

Yeah, and we all know that's exactly what happens. So many WHMs and Balms wear archfiend and tyrant sets.
And we all know he knows that. I bet it's an investor who ordered them to say that.

Same man. I love knights so much! I’ve always been a huge samurai and knight person, especially because of games like Final Fantasy. But I also love what true knights stand for too. I’d love to see more universal knight glams in store and game.

Clearly Yoshida has never played Dark Souls lol. There’s so many Dark Souls knights that use magic, especially like a Black Mage.

Day: 8 of petitioning for more universal knight glams for all classes! We need the knight armor! :)

Honestly would love to even see a Dark Souls x FF14 crossover too for knight armor sets.

They've basically already done that with the Cryptlurker gear back in ShB.

Obviously they haven't directly taken armor from any Souls game, but you can clearly see the influence.

We kind of already got that unofficially with the Cryptlurker sets. Though to your point only Tanks can wear the classic plate armour. The maiming set is kind of there too, but the fending set is just straight up the most "dark souls" armour this game has. Yoshi-P even made a joke about it during the reveal.

If they would just lift the job restrictions on armour it would solve this whole problem.

The problem with it is that it’s not universal gear. It’s set only for one way of play style and not all classes. In Dark Souls, you can use anything and be a knight class. There’s countless knights throughout Dark Souls games that use more than just swords/axes/spears but also magic too.

To have a Dark Souls themed knight armor that’s universal to all classes would be awesome and show that off. And there’s countless people that have commented on this post prior that are in hard agreement.

That would be great too but I’d definitely love more knight armor sets as well.

Day: 10 of petitioning for more universal Knight Armor sets for all classes, whether as purchases mogstation sets or in game. A lot of us love knight armor sets and we know you make very great armor sets in general, Square Enix! We’d love it dearly if you gave us more for all the knight fans, including I, that love playing your game Final Fantasy 14! But also, again thank you for giving us a great game too! May it live long and many decades!

Encouraging everyone, that if you like knights and would like more universal knight armor, please feel free to join in. The more people that do speak up, the more that SE would probably be inclined to listen in! Let’s bring more class-universal knight armor sets in! :)
